CEO Eugene Kaspersky has offered to let U.S. officials examine the company’s source code multiple times, but U.S. officials apparently didn’t accept the offer. Moreover, retail giant Best Buy stopped selling Kaspersky’s software without launching its own investigation into the U.S. government’s concerns.

For its part, Kaspersky has downplayed its business exposure in the U.S. government. The company apparently has 10 employees or so focused on that sector, and there were signs that Kaspersky planned to wind down that effort in recent days.
